N712AE

This airframe, registered as N712AE, is an Embraer-built regional jet completed in 2000 with manufacturer serial number 145247. The airframe is an Embraer ERJ-135LR originally manufactured by Embraer S.A. and is recorded in U.S. civil registry with operation tied to AERO AIRCRAFT HOLDINGS LLC, a corporation based in Van Nuys, CA, US. The operator/home base and registry record indicate conventional corporate ownership rather than operator-branded service; the airframe's market valuation is listed at $3,600,000, reflecting its age, configuration and typical mid-life maintenance status.

The cabin of this specific ERJ-135LR is fitted in a standard single-class, airline-style layout seating 37 passengers with a typical 31" pitch for the 37-seat fit; alternate shuttle or executive reconfigurations are possible but not recorded for this airframe. Avionics are of the Honeywell Primus-series family, a common fit for ERJ-135 variants, supporting regional airline-style operations and short- to medium-haul charter missions. With a cruise speed of 430 kts and a range of 1,750 nm, the aircraft is typically employed on regional trunk routes, shuttle services, or corporate group transport originating from its Van Nuys/California operator base. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect typical LR-series equipment—mid-life airframe inspections, engine shop visits for Rolls-Royce AE 3007 modules, and avionics checks consistent with Honeywell Primus systems.

The Embraer ERJ-135LR occupies a niche as a 37-seat regional jet offering faster cruise and greater range than many turboprops while remaining more economical than larger regional jets; its ceiling of 37,000 ft and 430 kts cruise make it suitable for thin-to-thicker trunk markets. Competing models include small regional jets and high-capacity turboprops; buyer demand tends toward operators needing shuttle capacity or replacement for aging regional fleets. Resale and maintenance considerations center on engine cycle life for the AE 3007 series, the airframe’s 2000 build year and refurbishment state, and market appetite for 37-seat single-class configurations versus more flexible interior conversions.
